The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry to determine its current value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeMTA\Parameters\Concurrent MDB/delivery queue clients

If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds the value for Concurrent MDB/delivery queue clients present and set to anything other than 3, a non-default configuration message is displayed.

The Concurrent MDB/delivery queue clients value is the maximum number of message database (MDB) and Exchange API message access delivery queue clients that the message transfer agent (MTA) can support. Each client can have more than one session. This value should be set to at least two to support the private and public MDB entities.
